TRACIT publications

A key objective of the Transnational Alliance to Combat Illicit Trade is to improve the knowledge base by publishing cutting-edge research on critical issues that can reshape government policy and action to control illicit trade. 

Our upcoming publications, include:

• A series of business best practices and concrete guidelines on the execution of due diligence obligations and “know your customer” procedures in various market sectors exposed to illicit trade. The best practices will be disseminated among key actors of the supply chain, thus supporting existing calls by IGOs to carry out more effective due diligence action. 
• An evaluation of the economic “crowding out” costs in the efficiency of trade caused by illicit trading. 
• A global cross-sector study mapping illicit trade routes, dynamics, points of convergence among multiple sectors, common smuggling channels, and the involvement of criminal groups.
